Principal killed, two students injured by bus at Indianapolis elementary school

Two children sustained serious injuries in the incident at Amy Beverland Elementary School in Lawrence Township, in which a stationary school bus suddenly lurched forward and jumped the curb.

A bus accident outside of an elementary school near Indianapolis left the school’s principal dead and two 10-year-old students injured.

“A is for awesome, because you’re an awesome principal”, a student says referring to Susan Jordan.

The driver of a school bus that lurched forward at an Indianapolis school told police the principal pushed children out of the way before she was struck. The driver wasn’t hurt, nor was any of the 25 students who were on board. Just a phenomenal individual that truly cared about children.

Dr. Smith said, “As superintendent of the schools and a representative of the entire school community, we lost a great educator today”.

Crews towed the bus from the school at Fox and Oaklandon last night.

The school canceled Wednesday’s classes.
